1. Transparent gateway -WebPort is the link between your serial devices or PLCs and the Ethernet LAN in your company allowing transparent access from any local workstation.

2. Data acquisition gateway - WebPort polls serial PLCs or devices at defined intervals to feed its internal memory tags with live data. It then publishes this information on the LAN in Modbus/TCP and SNMP, making it available to higher end applications such as SCADA, Historian, OPC servers and ERPs.

3. Programmable gateway  - Using the BASIC scripting language, WebPort interfaces any ASCII serial device, sending commands, decoding replies, feeding its memory tags with the values and making the equipment, the measurements and the events visible on the LAN in Modbus/TCP, SNMP or from any standard web browser.

4. Alarms management - Several alarm thresholds are available on each WebPort data tag, with individual settings for dead band and activation delays. WebPort manages the complete alarm cycle, including acknowledgements logging, and triggers multiple actions on each alarm (SMS, email, SNMP traps and put FTP).
